Refer now to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in which FIG. 1 is a schematicperspective view of the cosmetic powder container in accordance with thepresent invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view ofFIG. 1. In this embodiment of the present invention, the cosmetic powdercontainer 100 includes a container body 110, an interior under-coverstructure 120, an inner cover 130 and a container cover 140.

The container body 110 formed to include thereinside an accommodationspace 112 has a bottom portion 114, a first engagement portion 116 and asecond engagement portion 118. The first engagement portion 116 isextended from an end of the bottom portion 114. The second engagementportion 118 is further extended from an end of the first engagementportion 116 in a tapering manner. In particular, the second engagementportion 118 further includes a plurality of convex-concave structures.

The accommodation space 112 located between the container body 110 andthe interior under-cover structure 120 is to receive the cosmeticpowders.

The inner cover 130 located at a top of the interior under-coverstructure 120 further includes a depress-contact portion 132 protrusivefurther from the inner cover 130.

The container cover 140 assembled to the container body 110 further hasa protrusive portion 142 to form a contact engagement with thedepress-contact portion 132 of the inner cover 130.

The container cover 140 has a plurality of concave-convex structures.When the container cover 140 is to seal or cover the container body 110,the plurality of concave-convex structures of the container cover 140are to match or mesh the plurality of convex-concave structures of thesecond engagement portion 118, such that the container cover 140 can befirmly fixed to the container body 110.

The interior under-cover structure 120 further includes an engagementstructure 122, a powder-through structure 124 and a disc member 126.

A top end of the engagement structure 122 is to match an upper rim ofthe container body 110. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the topend of the engagement structure 122 is shaped as a hook end to bucklethe second engagement portion 118 so as to fix the interior under-coverstructure 120 at a top of the container body 110.

Refer now to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in which FIG. 3 is a schematicperspective view of the powder-through structure 124 for the cosmeticpowder container in accordance with the present invention. As shown, thepowder-through structure 124 is located between the engagement structure122 and the disc member 126.

In this embodiment, the powder-through structure 124 further has aplurality of cuts 124 a and a plurality of assembly holes 124 b, wherethe assembly holes 124 b are arranged to circle the cuts 124 a.

The powder-through structure 124 is fixed to a bottom of the engagementstructure 122 through the disc member 126. For example, a plurality ofprotrusive portions can be formed to the bottom of the engagementstructure 122. By having these protrusive portions to engage, bypenetration, respectively the corresponding assembly holes 124 b of thepowder-through structure 124, then the powder-through structure 124 canbe fixed to the bottom of the engagement structure 122 at the same timewhile the disc member 126 is fixed to the engagement structure 122.

In addition, an opening of the engagement structure 122 is to expose thepowder-through structure 124 thereunder, and the disc member 126 furtherhas another hole communicative with the accommodation space 112 of thecontainer body 110. Namely, the powder-through structure 124 is actuallyexposed in portion to the accommodation space 112 of the container body110.

Refer now to FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, in which FIG. 5 is a schematiccross-sectional view of the engagement structure and the powder-throughstructure for the cosmetic powder container in accordance with thepresent invention, FIG. 6 shows another state of FIG. 5 with thepowder-through structure to be loaded by foreign depressive forcing, andFIG. 4 shows another state of FIG. 3 with the powder-through structurebeing deformed by foreign depressive forcing (not shown herein). In thisembodiment, when a user applies a powder puff 10 or fingers to apply aforeign force down onto the powder-through structure 124, thepowder-through structure 124 would be forced to be elastically curved intoward the accommodation space 112 of the container body 110. At thistime, the cuts 124 a on the powder-through structure would bedepressively deformed and thus changed shapes into holes 124 c, suchthat the cosmetic puff 10 or the fingers of the user can touch aspecific amount of the cosmetic powders who are squeezed up to the topof the powder-through structure 124 by passing forcedly through theopened cuts 124 a, i.e. the holes 124 c, of the curved-in powder-throughstructure 124; or, the cosmetic puff 10 or the fingers of the user cantouch the cosmetic powders in the accommodation space 112 through theholes 124 c.

In addition, the powder-through structure 124 of the present inventioncan be made either a silica gel or a rubber. Thus, as the powder-throughstructure is further curved into the accommodation space 112 of thecontainer body 110, the sizes of the holes 124 c corresponding to theoriginal cuts 124 a can also be elastically enlarged with the elasticdeformation of the powder-through structure 124. After the foreignforcing is removed, the powder-through structure 124 as well as the cuts124 a would be resumed elastically back to the original shapes shown inFIG. 3 and FIG. 4.

Further, the powder-through structure 124 of the present invention caninclude an antiseptic layer, coating, or membrane to avoid possiblebacteria growth inside the container body 110.

In summary, by providing the cosmetic powder container according to thepresent invention, while a foreign force is applied to thepowder-through structure, the powder-through structure would beelastically curved in toward the accommodation space of the containerbody, accordingly. Thereby, the cuts of the powder-through structurewould be opened to form respective holes so as to allow the cosmeticpowders in the accommodation space to be squeezed up to thepowder-through structure through the opened cuts, or to allow thecosmetic puff or the fingers of the user to touch the cosmetic powdersin the accommodation space through the open cuts, and then the user canapply these cosmetic powders easily.
